Onion is one of major bulb crop grown in India which presently

immature and mature bulbs are used as vegetable and condiment.
The Onion is the world’s leading news publication, offering highly
acclaimed, universally revered coverage of breaking national,
international, and local news events.

Onions not only provide flavor, they also provide important
nutrients and health-promoting phytochemicals. It contains
vitamin B and a trace of vitamin C and also traces of iron and
calcium. As a culinary ingredient it adds to the taste and flavour
in a wide range of food preparations and it is also used as a
salad. Thus there is a steady increase in the demand for onion
across the world.

The onion, also known as the bulb onion or common onion, is
used as a vegetable and is the most widely cultivated species of the
genus Allium. Consumption of onions may prevent gastric ulcers
by scavenging free radicals and by preventing growth of the
ulcer-forming microorganism, Heliobacter pylori. Onions are

minced, granules and powder.

The onions are perishable commodity and cannot be stored for a
long time after harvest in an ordinary conditions. Dehydration is
simply, effective and economical for preserving the onions during
seasons of abundance and using them during off seasons.

the nineteenth century.
Dehydrated Onion

A 100 percent export oriented unit is one, which would export its
entire production, except for the permitted levels of rejects.
Onion is mainly exported in the form of dehydrated onion, canned
onion and onion pickle. When establishing a dehydration industry,
considerable thought should be given to the procurement of fresh
onions for dehydration.

To operate a dehydration plant efficiently, a constant supply of
onions is required and this involves considerable organization.
Ideally a dehydration factory should handle only one type of
onion over long periods, so as to avoid the necessity of cleaning
down all the machinery and altering the grading and cutting
settings etc. when changing from one variety to another.

• Dehydrated onions are a great food storage item.
• They are cheap to pack compared with canned goods.
• They do not require refrigerated storage as do frozen onions.
• Dehydrated onions will make your meals easy and delicious.
• Dried onions can be used just like fresh onions. Easily reconstituted either
by adding them to dishes with lots of cooking liquid like soup, stew, chili, etc.
Advantages

All onions for processing are grown from specific varieties best
suited for dehydration. Specific strains of the Creole Onion,
Southport Globe Onion, and the Hybrid Southport Globe were
developed by the dehydration industry. They are white in color
and process a higher solid content which yields a more flavorful
and pungent onion.

Onion dehydration using a continuous conveyor dryer involves the
following basic steps:
a) Harvesting,
b) Transporting To The Plant,
c) Curing,
d) Washing,
e) Slicing,
f) Dehydration In Three To Four stages,
